Liked the mechanics like crossing on the crocodile's heads and the dancing! I got stuck at the horse part, might just be me being an idiot though! Good game!
You gotta stick and move. I can see how it's tough. Thanks for giving it a try. I appreciate it.
I love the vengeance story! The DIalogue was super cool and I was excited every time there was a new part!
Thank you so much!! This is some of the best feedback I've ever gotten for a game.
I liked the progression of the adventure and the environments and sounds were nice.
I had a bit of trouble with trying to aim at the enemy since clicking towards them would often result in my death, though the mini-game style challenges / variety in what you do gives a nice feel to the journey.
That was really cool, graphics and musics are top, and the puzzles was fun ! Maybe a little bit more difficulty or punition if we miss will add fun and credibility for the adventure (thinking about crocodiles for exemple, would feel more like a dangerous and epic quest)
Thank you!! I appreciate you playing the game!! I've learned making any sort of a challenge is usually met less favorable than no challenge.
Amazing! The game and level design is fantastic - loved the puzzles and challenges gameplay. I'm assuming this was made in RPG Maker.
The gameplay loop is "overcome challenge in room" - so a game like this should open with a tiny movement challenge to set the tone and player expectations. For the first few minutes, there was a lot of walking, talking and following.
Since this was made in RPG Maker, I think you did the best you could, but some feedback here would be that a movement-based game where you do things like chase, time your jumps, aim and dodge - should have a robust movement system that feels nice to pilot (probably beyond the scope of RPG Maker). Some QoL things such as being able to turn around without moving a step in the new direction would've helped in the Chosen fight, or making the second guy's sickle throw not follow the player in midair.
On a narrative level, you may want to consider forcing the gang into the initial story. Despite the hint given by the restaurant person, players may skip talking to them in the restaurant, thus never actually knowing who the villains are before fighting them.
Finally the keyboard mapping was - to me at least - a little off. WASD + right hand buttons are more familiar to me.
That aside - the development of the story along with the mechanics was great. Each puzzle/challenge felt nice to overcome. There was a sense of logic and design - as a player I knew instantly what I had to do, I engaged in trying to find a solution to my barrier, and I felt a sense of accomplishment upon completing it. Making the final fight a simple sickle throw was a great touch. I think you have a really good knack for making fun gameplay and would love to see you make more games. All the best!
Thanks!!! I'm working constantly on making games better. You gave me a lot to think about.
Great game, I liked the variety of the challenges you added. Very neatly done, the dialog is quite nicely written too. Great job!
Word thank you for playing. I appreciate it.
I played this. This was a lot of fun. Its simple vengeance story with unique art and a bit of a gimmicky gameplay that feels clunky but it works.
The Shadow Warrior's transformed look makes me feel things. I appreciate it.
I heard the battle was a bit janky. If you thought so, what was weird about it?
The shuriken projectiles mainly. Generally hitting your enemy on a range is difficult on RM sometimes. It's not necessarily built for it due to the projectile's reach taken into account.
The trio fight is egregious for that.
The last fight felt like it had redundant options and more so multiple ways of attacking the last boss? I didn't try the other options and I didn't save so I wasn't sure if alternate endings are a thing.
So the sword was good but not shuriken(I phoned in the end sorry)
The sword does feel clunky yes. But it's been a few days since I played it and for what it's worth, the sword part is ok at least to me. Granted. I have mostly forgotten the feel of it all because I played your game first.
Did you make the music too?
No I got it from a site called Chosic.com. It's filled to the brim with free use public domain music.
